The US Air Force decided not to buy the iPad 2, because the device has a Russian application

The United States Air Force canceled the planned purchase of Apple iPad 2 Tablet PCs. This decision was made by the Air Force Command after receiving and reviewing the results of checking the application for reading documents written by Russian programmers.

At first, US officials planned to buy an iPad 2861 tablet for 2 pilots to store electronic versions of technical manuals and maps. All tablets also assumed the pre-installed program “Good Reader”, which allows reading files in different formats and complying with security requirements.

But Michael McCarthy, project manager for the introduction of smartphones into the US military, said that he would not allow the use of software developed in Russia yet, since he did not want to put American pilots at any possible risk.

Barney Skoch, a consultant on the defense industry of the US Air Force, demanded that each line of the source code be examined in order to ensure that the Russian application does not contain anything harmful. It was expressed in the sense that it is better to spend some time on checking, but to prevent the catastrophic consequences that would arise if the malicious code manifests itself in flight.

US officials said they would study every component of the Russian program in order to protect pilots from risk during missions. And until the results of the verification, the decision on the acquisition of tablets is postponed.

Well done! Worry for themselves

[domokl]

All the same, the love of technology will destroy them ... Tablets, and everyone now practically uses Russian, Chinese or some other developments ...

[alexng]

This love has already destroyed them. To date, in this regard, the US army is the most vulnerable in the world, despite the hanging talk. They have almost all of their armaments tied to satellites and digital communications, and night-vision devices, and this is the Achilles heel, and for this reason they changed their minds about invading Iran, because they sensed that it smelled fried.

[alex-defensor]

Bernie Skoch, a US Air Force defense industry consultant, demanded to examine every line of source code

Many lines will have to be checked. A significant part of the US programmers are former ours.

At the expense of the iPad 2 - in general insanity. The manufacturer's lobby is unambiguous. Since when has the army been using civilian technology? Everyone knows that for army needs there is a special requirement for the strength of products. I remember, even in my youth, in 1997 I went to KOMTEK. It means that I walk from one exposition to another, crawled into some remote corner, and there is a model of the monitor on the stand. A monochrome picture in orange tones with a passive matrix. The year was even 1997, but even for this year - such a picture is not "comme il faut" at all. Well, duck I was joking, like you fell behind, dear representative of the manufacturer, to which he immediately got "on the forehead" and "in a big way" ... it turned out that this monitor is shockproof, capable of working under water, in acidic environments at the widest temperature range. .. THIS IS SO !!!

That is why our GLONAS module for the military looks like that, many hamsters think that this is a clear sign of a lag, but actually not !!! Lag of course UNTIL Yes, it’s only expressed not in the structure of the corps ...

CONCLUSION: What suits GLAMARY HAMSTERS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DAMNY STRONG MUSICS FROM ARMENIAN NUMBERS. (understood the hint )

[old rocket man]

alex-defensor,
You think in the right direction, which is why military electronics are many times more expensive and, sometimes, more dimensional than analogues of civilian purposes, and their functionality varies greatly

Well, let it be a transition to personalities, then about a state that bears democracy on missile warheads and on the wings of bombers, only animals that understand only the language of power can respect such a state! Trolls for example!

We need to prohibit the sale of Polaris equipment at home - a purely Amer company, production and assembly Amer. People - remember and do not take - Colambia, Polaris !!! I took the heater myself half a year ago, right now I’ll go - I’ll break it and throw it out!

Forgot how to fly simple cards. If there is no malicious code, then it did not hinder to run it. So just in case. And there are different cases.

Well, at school they don't teach geography, all around computers are all on electronics. It is our pilots and navigators who can plot a route according to a pack of Belomorkanal (the older generation remembers how it looked).

Yes, yes, yes, I also wanted to insert a similar photo))) I look ahead of it! catch +

[zhidikhanov]

As in the movie "Only old men go to battle" - A boot is safer in battle.

[Victor]

The Yussians are right to worry. They themselves are doing the same thing, investing in their programs and free antivirus programs like Avast, codes for the collapse of one or another segment of the Internet in the event of a military conflict, thereby disrupting the entire system of state governance in the antagonist country. That is why the issue of production capacities for the development and release of our own computer and office equipment capable of working in the national operating system and on our national software is so acute.

[alexng]

The best antivirus software is LINUX. IHMO. I do not recognize vindovoz, because this is spyware. I say this as an IT specialist.

[Draz]

Only MO officially uses Dr.Web

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

and toys like that? !!!!

[Piligrim]

Gimoroy with your Linux .... you can’t get around.
In general, I call Linux addicts addicts - they themselves are addicted to it ..., and they are trying to tighten up others.

[novic]

Avast from Czech programmers, but on pind ... in works. And everything that Microsoft produces has a direct connection with the NSA and in Massachusetts there is a center for collecting and analyzing incoming software information if you have an Internet connection. All mail copies are in the same place. To transfer all aircraft with IBM compatible PCs, we need more money and a vague political decision to take this step, which will deprive the pin ... of information and impact on systems built on these machines.

[Paradise hell]

Well, gentlemen, the thief is always on fire! The Americans are clearly familiar with the "bookmark" system, and that's why they are worried. Attention, question: is imported software checked for such malicious codes in the Ministry of Defense or will it just get away with it?

[Andrey_K]

In addition, all their assurances that "the United States is not going to fight with Russia" and "the air defense is not aimed against it" fly into the furnace - it turns out that they are even getting ready and preparing.

[Victor]

Of course it is checked. That is why Kaspersky Lab exists. By the way, there has not been a single high-profile trial of hackers in Russia. Why do you think that is? That is right, they are all joining the ranks of computer military specialists. The US is now most afraid of cyber attacks from Russia and China. And I also think they should be afraid of our programmers in Silicon Valley. After all, with the growth of Russia's authority, the love for the Motherland is adequately restored among emigrants.

[old rocket man]

Well, Kaspersky Lab, a private company, and the problems it deals with have many similarities with these, but it’s not engaged in this, although it certainly could

[old rocket man]

Quote: Rayad

Attention, a question: whether the imported software is checked for similar malicious codes in the Ministry of Defense

It’s checked, checked, for a long time and very meticulous, I dare to assure you, as a specialist in this field. And it’s not difficult to disable electronics for the duration of the conflict and without bookmarks, with the appropriate funds, we have them both in the USA

[FiremanRS]

We need to send them "Belomor" with a filling useful for us

And by the filling, I think you mean a jamb!

No, tobacco soaked in purgen. Then they definitely won't be up to war.

Like in a movie ... "There were two brothers, Purgen and Imodium" ... Then everything, the end to all wars !!!

[andrklimanov]

and we trust them so much that we buy entire ships that will sink at the right time sorry for the laugh, this is hysterical.

[Tatanka Yotanka]

Well, Medvedev, unlike the American, is all on the drum
President Dmitry Medvedev instructed to step up work on the introduction of an "electronic passport" for Russians, despite the fact that a domestically produced chip has not yet been created. "We will not wait until our chip is created, otherwise it will never be created. Implement with a foreign chip," the head of state said
According to the acknowledgment of electronic engineers, a program is easily wired up in a chip that sends information to manufacturers through terminals with a network.

[Per se.]

Some in our government, if not with foreign chips, then go with foreign programs in their heads.

[suharev-52]

And here we are trying to talk about the revival of the greatness of the country, if our head of state even sleeps with a tablet that can spy on him. And is this not relevant for him? Most likely yes. He already works for the world oligarchy and I don’t see the benefits of his 4-year stay in power, one harm. He wants to leave the entire population of Russia under the control of the West before leaving the presidents. And here we are reasoning how our army would be stronger. Soon all of us will be turned into biorobots with the following functions: work, eat, sleep. Without the right to emotion and the slightest disobedience to the regime of the oligarchs.

[admiral]

But it was very interesting for him to work as president !!!

[freedom]

"Bernie Skoch, ... expressed himself in the sense that it is better to spend some time checking, but to prevent catastrophic consequences that will arise if the malicious code manifests itself in flight. .

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

into this number, but they say that apart from oil and gas, we don’t produce anything or export anything
extremely good news

[Antoxa]

Do it right. It would be nice if we had foreign-made products. Although given its amount, I'm afraid it will be pointless.

[djsa1]

I wonder if they have any chips in their toilet paper? Otherwise, bam, and your ass looks like the British flag. Why not catastrophic consequences?

Yes, and figs with her, and with the flag too.

You would have been in America in the early 90s, you would have felt the contemptuous and condescending attitude of ordinary ordinary Americans, you would have spoken differently. It is we, Russians, who are accustomed to the fact that the state can be bad, and people are good, but they do not. I fully felt there that we “lost the Cold War”. Although I was only 20 years old then and was all in the rosy liberal dreams of the triumph of crap.
And when an 8-year-old amerikos strikes you in the eye that “all the entrances of Mr. do not allow in our house to speak your fucking language "... In short, you can go on for a long time.
In general, today is Forgiveness Sunday. so it’s not worth it about the Americans. And if anyone offended here excuse me!

[Alexei-]

the other day under the window there was clowning (sorry, a little off topic). Three cool naval "specialists" argued what bookmarks French shipbuilders could lay on our "mistrals". "Specialists" are quite specific: the first is a mechanic on a river ferry, the second he lowered the ramp (he supported the grannies under the handles), the third (the coolest) owned a "cauldron". It is clear winter, boring. That's just not woven: and the electric screws will be short-circuited (special code), then the same code will knock out the kingstones with the help of a miracle Yudo squib), the ramps will be unhooked. In the end, the GDP in the government is stupid, we vote for Ziu ... I mean, what can they have a persecuted policy?

[datur]

Alexei-, they see Sam on chicken shit slurped !!

[sams]

Why be surprised?
Yes, simple men will be smarter than some "specialists".

[vostok-47]

Why do they need tablets ??? I will try to reflect:
1. For storing music, movies, pictures.
2. For navigation (if the pilot gets hungry during the flight, he will sit next to the nearest McDonald's)
3. Games will help them stay awake at boring meetings.
4. Possible for remote control of a fighter :)
5. It can be used as a fotik (there to photograph how a fighter performs a backflip)

[sams]

"... to store electronic versions of technical manuals and maps."

For storage of technical documentation.

[Heinrich ruppert]

Or they didn’t agree with the manufacturer about the rollback. Agree on the price.

[APASUS]

US officials said they would study every component of the Russian program in order to protect pilots from risk during missions. And until the results of the verification, the decision on the acquisition of tablets is postponed.

So where does the Russian program officials get so afraid of? So this is the usual tactic of the Americans to infect equipment sold to certain countries with a virus program. So during the USSR, you can recall the explosion at a gas pumping station, due to improper operation of the high pressure valve. Or from modern Iran, the scattering of turbine bearings when the speed mode is not correctly triggered.
Americans are afraid that they might stumble upon the same tactics that they themselves invented ............. ???
